Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Starter Project CLI

Starter Project CLI on NPM Starter Project on NPM

Starter Project CLI creates a perfect Gulp development environment for everyone within a few minutes.

Starter Project CLI Logo - Folder with start button and CLI word

Starter Project CLI, or SPRO (pronounces es-pro), is a command line interface that could save you a vast amount of time that you usually spend on configuring your project. SPRO's mission is to set up a perfect development environment by learning about your project architecture and then setting up Gulp tasks for all your needs.

SPRO should be considered as a boilerplate of predefined Gulp tasks. SPRO would install Gulp tasks for processing the following file types:

  • HTML (pug)
  • CSS (Sass)
  • JavaScript (es6)
  • Graphic (PNG, JPEG, SVG, GIF)
  • Fonts
  • Favicons

The tasks include compiling, lintering, formatting, compressing, and transforming your source file to produce the most optimized production files.

Info: If you would like to add a Gulp task, feel free to open a pull request, or request a feature by creating a new issue.

Table of Contents

Installation

You could use SPRO as a global or local package.

To install the package locally, run:

npm install starter-project-cli --save

To install the package globally, run:

npm install --global starter-project-cli --save

Getting started

After successful installation, you could run the spro command. If you have installed the package locally, you could initialize the package by running the following command:

node_modules/.bin/spro start

If you have installed the package globally, you could initialize the package by running the following command:

spro start

SPRO would prompt you to ask a few questions about the project structure.

Starter Project CLI in action

Once you answer all questions, SPRO would do two things:

  • copy all required files (Gulp task files and configuration files), and
  • prepare a command for installation of dependencies required for the project.

Warning: Note that the installation process could last a few minutes.

Gulp tasks

In the gulpfile.js folder you could find all Gulp task files and configuration files.

There are four available major Gulp tasks:

| Task | Description | | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | default | the task for running all the tasks (useful for more thorough development process) | | build | the task for running all tasks with the exit process (useful for Netlify builds, for example) | | dev | the task for running only essential tasks (useful for basic development process) | | clean | the task for deleting compiled code. |

And there are three optional Gulp tasks for versioning (available only you choose SEMVER option):

| Task | Description | | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | | bumpPatch | the task for bumping patch versions of the package.json file | | bumpMinor | the task for bumping minor versions of the package.json file | | bumpMajor | the task for bumping major versions of the package.json file |

Pro tip: Run gulp --tasks to see all available Gulp tasks.

Configuration file

If you want more control over your Gulp tasks, you could find the configuration files for every single Gulp task in the gulpfile.js folder.

.starter-project.json is the main configuration file in which you could find all your answers from the command line.

{
  "proot": "./",
  "src": "src",
  "dist": "dist",
  "sync": {
    "run": true
  },
  "html": {
    "run": true,
    "src": "html",
    "dist": "",
    "pug": false,
    "minify": true,
    "inline": true,
    "lint": true
  },
  "css": {
    "run": true,
    "src": "scss",
    "dist": "css",
    "sass": true,
    "minify": true,
    "autoprefix": true,
    "sourcemaps": true,
    "lint": true
  },
  "js": {
    "run": true,
    "src": "js",
    "dist": "js",
    "uglify": true,
    "lint": true,
    "sourcemaps": true
  },
  "gfx": {
    "run": true,
    "src": "gfx",
    "dist": "gfx"
  },
  "fonts": {
    "run": true,
    "src": "fonts",
    "dist": "fonts"
  },
  "favicon": {
    "run": true
  },
  "critical": {
    "run": true
  },
  "kss": {
    "run": true,
    "dist": "docs/styleguide"
  },
  "sassdoc": {
    "run": true,
    "dist": "docs/sass"
  },
  "jsdoc": {
    "run": true,
    "dist": "docs/js"
  },
  "bump": {
    "run": true
  }
}

Avoid editing this file manually, unless you know what you are doing. Run spro start command again instead.

See more about individual configuring tasks in the Task Configuration section.

Path Placeholders

SPRO provides path placeholders for easier configuration. All path placeholders would be replaced with settings from the main config file, .starter-project.json file.

Use path placeholders to avoid hardcoding paths in the project.

Here is the list of all available path placeholders:

| Placeholder | Replacement | | --------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | helpers.proot | project root path | | helpers.source | project source path | | helpers.dist | project destination path | | config.html.src | project HTML source path | | config.html.dist | project HTML source path | | config.css.src | project CSS source path | | config.css.dist | project CSS destination path | | config.js.src | project JavaScript source path | | config.js.dist | project JavaScript destination path | | config.kss.dist | project KSS destination path | | config.sassdoc.dist | project SassDoc destination path | | config.jsdoc.dist | project JSdoc destination path |

Command

SPRO package has only one command:

  • spro start, spro s.

Also, you could run spro --version to check the version of the package.

Task Configuration

Every task has its own configuration file.

BrowserSync Configuration

The default BrowserSync configuration is defined as follows:

{
  "port": 8080,
  "server": {
    "baseDir": ""
  }
}

You could see all available options on BrowserSync the npm page.

Favicon Configuration

The default favicon configuration is defined as follows:

{
  "run": true,
  "src": "helpers.source/config.html.src/_assets/favicon.pug",
  "dest": "helpers.source/config.html.src/_assets"
}

To make the favicon task work, you should visit the RealFaviconGenerator and run the wizard. At the end of the process, you should copy the setting and put them in the .favicon-data.json file under gulpfile.js directory.
